~Lilacs & Silver~


Don't you just love the smell of lilacs? What can be better than that beautiful aroma and gorgeous blooms all in a wonderful old silver pitcher? Put it next to a clock and birdcage hanging from an old iron lamp base and you have just transformed a corner of your room into a heavenly sight. I'm drawn to all these pieces and had fun taking these photos. Be sure to stop over at Gypsy Fish and check out all the other silver posts. Also I want to wish everyone a very special Mother's Day. I hope you are having a nice, relaxing day with loved ones. Enjoy! xoxo K.

  3. oh how I wish I weren't so allergic to all things floral. These are beautiful Kathleen.
    Whatever is in the air this year has hit hard and we are thinking of pulling out the whole new garden we just planted to give me some relief.
    Hope you are having a wonderful mothers day!

  4. I know what you mean. I was painting furniture an hour ago and the breeze carried that wonderful heady smell of lilacs my way. I don't know whose yard they wre from but it was heavenly. Sea Witch

  5. Oh how lovely! Your photos capture so many of my loves! The clock defining time moving on, the silver pitcher relecting the beauty of this world, the lilacs I can almost smell their perfume, the metal base and the birdcage offering refuge and yet freedom...so beautiful...so peaceful...Thank you!

  8. Hi Kathleen,
    Happy Mother's Day to you too. Love the lilacs ~ still waiting for my "little Kim" to bloom. But I'm not complaining because this is the 1st year since we've had it that it's had lots of blooms.....only took 4 years!
    Enjoy the sunshine!! Isn't it fabulous?

  11. Nothing Better than a Fragrant bunch of Lilacs, unless you put them in a Beautiful Vintage Vignette.... Great Post~
